4 ingredients for each day to be a success

I love finding old notes laying around.
Tonight, I found this one:

4 ingredients for each day to be a success:
1. Gratitude
2. Kindness/Love
3. Learning
4. Work Ethic

Oh the memories.
I had been chatting with the kids about what makes a day successful.
What would be the four most important things to have in each day.

To find something in the day to be thankful for.
To demonstrate love and kindness to someone AND to receive love and kindness from someone.
The second part can be tricky, because sometimes it is more about perception.. sometimes love and kindness is being demonstrated all day long, it just doesn't look like what we are expecting.
To learn something.
To work and do it to the best of your ability that day.

Even on the worst of days. The sickest of days.  All four of these are possible.  Because the idea is based on what you are capable of that day. Not based on what you were able to do yesterday or a month ago or will be able to do in a week.  Just today.
